Key Skills:
- You are innovative – You are happy to challenge established patterns in the industry if they do not make sense to customers; you are able to put yourself in the shoes of your customers and observe what we do from their perspective; you keep abreast of developments and know when to introduce them to your customers.
- Command authority naturally - You don’t need borrowed power to enlist the help of others – you just know how to do it - you are optimistic and are viewed in a favorable light and are valued by the organizations you work for.
- Possess quick sifting abilities, knowing what to note and what to ignore - The latter is more important since there’s almost always too much data, and rarely too little; ignoring the right things is better than trying to master extraneous data.
Experiance Qualifications:
- Set, observe, and re-evaluate priorities frequently - You focus and prioritize by ranking what is on your plate constantly and by handling fewer actions, emails, attending fewer meetings, and generally limiting their data input.
- Ask good questions and listen to stakeholders - Great project managers don’t just go through the motions; they care about communication and the opinions of the parties involved and they are sufficiently self-aware to know how their communication is received by those stakeholders.
- Do not use information as a weapon or a means of control - You communicate clearly, completely, and concisely, all the while giving others real information without fear of what they’ll do with it.
- Possess domain expertise in (agile) project and service management – You will end up not just having generic management skills; you will also have a deep familiarity with the multiple fields that Lemongrass operates in, the tools we operate and the approaches we deploy that gives you a natural authority and solid strategic insight.
- Exercise independent and fair consensus-building skills when conflict arises - But you embrace only as much conflict as is necessary, neither avoiding nor seeking grounds for control of a particular project segment.
